Expected high tides likely to close Sausalito road

Morning high tides Friday and Saturday will likely result in local flooding along Gate 5 Road between Coloma Street and Harbor Drive. The road segment will be evaluated and likely closed and then re-opened by the city's Department of Public Works.

Based on past experience, the affected road segment can be expected to be closed for approximately three hours during tides above 6.8 feet.

The city's supplies of sand and sandbags are stocked and available at the City Corporation Yard, 530 Nevada St., 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and at the MLK Park parking lot behind gym anytime.
